Hello. I got 300cc silicone implants under the muscle & a breast lift. I was hesitant to go with this PS b/c I noticed the patients on his site had humps; however, he was highly recommended by a friend. I expressed concern over the humps in his photos, but the PS *promised* I would not have humps. I'm at 4.5 months now and I have TORPEDOS. I was told to wait until at least 6 mos before thinking about revisions but my breasts look ridiculous. Is this possibly my final-ish result? Thank you!
Answer: Breast evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your concerns. By this time, most of your result has settled. I recommend seeing your surgeon and sharing your concerns. If you and/or your surgeon does not have confidence that he/she can fix this, then seek consultation with a revisional breast surgery expert. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Will my breasts ever have a natural slope after breast surgery? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Given that you feel that your breasts look "ridiculous" 4.5 months out of surgery, I would be concerned ( although I do expect some further changes are possible), that you will continue to be displeased even longer term. In other words, although further changes are likely, most of the postoperative changes have likely occurred already. Nevertheless, I would suggest that you continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon at the six month mark (or later). If you remain concerned, revisionary breast surgery, possibly involving downsizing of breast implants and/or adjustment of breast capsules may be necessary to achieve an outcome that you are happier with. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Breast slope Over time, the slope will likely improve. If you are not satisfied, a smaller implant may do the trick.

Answer: Will my breasts ever have a natural slope? I would no Thank you for your questiont gi Thank you for your questionve up yet. When breast implants and lift are combined the lower pole almost always fills out as the implant drops. Ask your surgeon about breast implant displacement exercises and a Bando.
